Beastmode: Shoulder Press PB

by Jam Acero, 6 years ago

I once considered my Shoulders to be my weakest area. Acero family genetics didn't bless us with large bones or a big frame, so over the years I had to work twice as hard to get half the results. This set may look ordinary but to me it's one of my proudest achievements so far in the gym - bringing even more satisfaction than a heavy Squat or Deadlift. Why? Because I clearly remember when I used to look at the 38kg dumbbells and think, 'Man, i'll never be able to push those on my own. My shoulders are too weak.' After failing to get the 1st attempt up right before this one, I doubted myself even more: 'Maybe this is your limit. You should swallow your pride and ask someone for a spot - you're not strong enough and never will be.' But I shook it off, cleared my head, focused only on the driving energy of my music ('Furnace' by Pleasurekraft) and decided I'd either DESTROY this set or let it destroy me...guess who won ? #nothingheldback #thisisSPARTA
